And I sawוָאֶרְאֶהin the vision,בֶּחָזוֹןand it happened,וַיְהִיwhen I saw,בִּרְאֹתִיthat I wasוַאֲנִיin Susaבְּשׁוּשַׁןthe fortress,הַבִּירָהwhich isאֲשֶׁרin the provinceבְּ הַמְּדִינָהof Elam;עֵילָםand I sawוָאֶרְאֶהin the vision,בֶּחָזוֹןand Iוַאֲנִיwasהָיִיתִיby the riverעַל אוּבַלUlai.אוּלָי
And I liftedוָאֶשָּׂאmy eyesעֵינַיand saw,וָאֶרְאֶהand look,וְהִנֵּהaאֶחָדramאַיִלstandingעֹמֵדbeforeלִפְנֵיthe river,הָאֻבָלand it hadוְלוֹtwo horns;קְרָנָיִםand the two hornsוְהַקְּרָנַיִםwere high,גְּבֹהוֹתbut oneוְהָאַחַתwas higherגְּבֹהָהthan the other,מִן הַשֵּׁנִיתand the higher oneוְהַגְּבֹהָהcame upעֹלָהlast.בָּאַחֲרֹנָה
I sawרָאִיתִיthe ramאֶת הָאַיִלchargingמְנַגֵּחַwestwardיָמָּהand northwardוְצָפוֹנָהand southward,וָנֶגְבָּהand noוְכָל לֹאanimalsחַיּוֹתcould standיַעַמְדוּbefore it,לְפָנָיוand there was noוְאֵיןone to deliverמַצִּילfrom its hand;מִיָּדוֹand it didוְעָשָׂהas it pleasedכִרְצֹנוֹand made itself great.וְהִגְדִּיל
And Iוַאֲנִיwasהָיִיתִיconsidering,מֵבִיןand look,וְהִנֵּהa male goatצְפִיר הָעִזִּיםwas comingבָּאfrom the westמִן הַמַּעֲרָבover the faceעַל פְּנֵיof allכָלthe earth,הָאָרֶץwithoutוְאֵיןtouchingנוֹגֵעַthe ground;בָּאָרֶץand the goatוְהַצָּפִירhad a conspicuousחָזוּתhornקֶרֶןbetween its eyes.בֵּין עֵינָיו
And it cameוַיָּבֹאup to the ramעַד הָאַיִלthat hadבַּעַלthe two horns,הַקְּרָנַיִםwhichאֲשֶׁרI had seenרָאִיתִיstandingעֹמֵדbeforeלִפְנֵיthe river,הָאֻבָלand it ranוַיָּרָץat itאֵלָיוin the furyבַּחֲמַתof its strength.כֹּחוֹ
And I saw itוּרְאִיתִיוreachingמַגִּיעַthe ram,אֵצֶל הָאַיִלand it was enragedוַיִּתְמַרְמַרat itאֵלָיוand struckוַיַּךְthe ramאֶת הָאַיִלand brokeוַיְשַׁבֵּרits two horns;אֶת שְׁתֵּי קְרָנָיוand there was noוְלֹא הָיָהstrengthכֹחַin the ramבָּאַיִלto standלַעֲמֹדbefore it;לְפָנָיוand it threw it downוַיַּשְׁלִיכֵהוּto the groundאַרְצָהand trampled it,וַיִּרְמְסֵהוּand there was noוְלֹא הָיָהone to deliverמַצִּילthe ramלָאַיִלfrom its hand.מִיָּדוֹ
And the male goatוּצְפִיר הָעִזִּיםmade itself greatהִגְדִּילexceedingly;עַד מְאֹדand when it was strong,וּכְעָצְמוֹthe greatהַגְּדוֹלָהhornהַקֶּרֶןwas broken,נִשְׁבְּרָהand there came upוַתַּעֲלֶנָהfourאַרְבַּעconspicuous hornsחָזוּתin its placeתַּחְתֶּיהָtoward the fourלְאַרְבַּעwindsרוּחוֹתof the heavens.הַשָּׁמָיִם

And it made itself greatהִגְדִּילeven up toוְעַדthe Princeשַׂרof the army;הַצָּבָאand from himוּמִמֶּנּוּthe continual sacrificeהַתָּמִידwas taken away,הוּרַםand the placeמְכוֹןof his sanctuaryמִקְדָּשׁוֹwas thrown down.וְהֻשְׁלַךְ
And an armyוְצָבָאwas given overתִּנָּתֵןagainst the continual sacrificeעַל הַתָּמִידbecause of transgression,בְּפָשַׁעand it threwוְתַשְׁלֵךְtruthאֱמֶתto the ground,אַרְצָהand it actedוְעָשְׂתָהand prospered.וְהִצְלִיחָה
